Man, Betty's clothes are brutal, Wlihelmina's are sexy, Hilda's are tacky -- well, you get the idea. This means Eduardo Castro, the costumer for this clever show, is a genius. Transforming the lovely America Ferrara from fab to drab is no easy feat. Having said that, let's get on with what's up at MODE.

Freddy Rodriguez charms as the new character, Gio, the food vendor, who challenges Betty to resume her writing and awakens a feisty side of her personality. It looks as though sparks are flying between them, causing a potential love triangle with Henry (who is waiting for DNA results to see if he is a daddy or not). I'm exhausted already.

Next breath. Clare (the super Judith Light -- Sorry but she will always be Angela Bauer to me.) confronts Bradford while incognito at the Black and White Ball.

"Who's your daddy?" is Amanda's question because it's not Bradford. I'm getting to another "All My Children" moment any minute.

Ah, here's the soapy ending. Betty's father Antonio returns from Mexico after discovering that the evil wife beater he thought he killed 30 years earlier, Vasquez, is alive and seeking revenge. Of course, we hear a gunshot when the climax of the meeting occurs, and the audience is left hanging. There's always a cliffhanger calling us back ... Cue the organ music.
